I want to start reloading my own ammo and I have no idea where to start. I don't care about speed, I will be doing this primarily to relax and get some time to myself in my shop. Besides dies for each caliber, does this kit have everything I need to get started?

Also, I have a shotgun reloader that someone gave me, it's a MEC Jr. 600, can someone explain how to reload shotgun shells with this reloader while keeping in mind that I have no idea what each part of the reloader is called, or really what I'm doing, at all? It didn't come with instructions. Thanks
The kit I'm considering comes with 1 manual, and I have my dead uncles reloading data as far as the loads go, and of course I know I need powder, primers, bullets and brass, my main concern is if this kit has all of the equipment I'll need.

That's a fine kit. It includes most everything you'll need to reload 'cept the materials. It even has some extras like the primer and the scales and the holders that you won't need to buy later.

Reloading can be as easy as you want it to be or it can be as difficult and as challenging as most folks want you to believe it is. You don't need to toss a load of money at the hobby to get full enjoyment out of it, though.

You can reload ammo using a $20 Lee Loader that will produce equal, or in most cases better, quality ammo than any $1,000 reloader any "expert" or salesman tries to tell you that you need.

My advice would be that you go to Midway on the web....or even Ebay if you want....and pick up a Lee Loader in the caliber you want to reload and use that for a month or two before breaking that Lee press out of the box. Buy the press you found, but buy a Lee Loader, too. The Lee Loader, will teach you all the fundamentals of reloading that anyone can hope to know and it'll make you a far better reloader in the long term.

The MEC press.....again, I suggest you pick up a Lee LoadAll 2 in your choice of gauges and learn to reload on that first. That $30 kit includes *everything* 'cept the materials that you'll need to reload your own factory quality shells and you'll learn the stuff that not many reloaders these days can teach you. The entire reloading "manual" is a single sheet of 8 1/2-11" paper. That LoadAll 2 will take all the mysticism and mystery out of the process and it will make you an expert that years on other presses can't.
